The Rite of Spring

This collection is a graphic interpretation of the infamous composition by Igor Stravinsky entitled “Le Sacre du printemps” written in 1913 for the Paris season of Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes company. Stravinsky’s score for the ballet consists of 2 parts. Part 1 – "L’Adoration de la Terre", consisting of 7 short movements & Part 2 – "Le Sacrifice" consisting of 6 movements. This composition and ultimately my collection of paintings is a comparison of raw primitive emotion against nature’s exacting cycle of re-birth.
